Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering plays a critical role in the research, development and design of nearly every product. The Watson Schools BSME program is designed to prepare the student for a wide range of exciting employment possibilities. Graduates from our program have been highly successful in establishing careers in a diverse range of industries and highly regarded companies. They may go to work for major automobile manufacturers, aerospace companies, leading manufacturers of high-technology electronic products, healthcare providers or a wide range of smaller firms. While most of our graduates enter the high-technology workforce immediately after graduation, a large number have been very successful in pursuing graduate degrees. Our curriculum offers a balance among theory, design and laboratory experience in the areas of thermofluids, mechanics, dynamic systems, design and materials. Applications involving modern computer analysis and design tools are an integral part of the program. We emphasize the application of engineering fundamentals, along with a degree of specialization in the senior year. Graduates from the program are prepared for creative careers based on a thorough grounding in the fundamentals and skills used by the mechanical engineer, ready to keep learning wherever their careers take them. Our curriculum is excellent preparation for graduate studies. For qualified undergraduates, we offer an accelerated five-year program that leads to both a BS and MS degree in mechanical engineering or a five-year program leading to a BS in mechanical engineering and a MBA degree from the School of Management.
